A Moment of Triumph in Italy
Il Giardino co-owner Tony Gargiulo first spotted the wood-burning oven now housed in his Virginia Beach eatery back in 1983 on a trip to Florence. Determined to have the inspirational oven in his new restaurant, Gargiulo adopted the stove -- one of the first of its kind in Virginia. You'll want to taste the fresh-baked focaccia and bubbling, made-to-order pies now turned out of this nearly 30-years-young, wood-burning centerpiece.
